Construction starts on Latham Chipotle

A reader reports that construction is underway for the area’s next Chipotle Mexican Grill, being built in a new plaza at Wade Road and Route 7 in Latham. Its opening is slated for November. The Capital Region’s first opened on April on Route 50 in Wilton; the third, announced last month, will be at Clifton Park Center.

The great thing about Chipotle is every thing is good and the menu is so simple. The guacamole is tasty, but not needed to have a great burrito or fajita.

I have been Chipotle customer since 2001 and will testify that it is the most delicious meal you can get for $6.50. I was told I needed to try Moe’s and did last week only to find meat and salsas to be bland, not to mention the horribly complex menu with strange names for the many items that didn’t make all that much sense.

I’m sure many people from the area are still loyal to their Bombers (which has fallen off considerably since I moved here in ’04). I’m glad that Chipotle will be closer to Albany soon and there will be peace in the burrito world once again.

I have to say, that assuming Chipotle keeps their standards, Bombers will be 4th among taste/per burrito (tpb?)

I would say that Chipotle, Moes, and even Hot Harry’s in Schenectady offer a better burrito. My last few at Bombers were lacking flavor…too much flavorless rice!

(As far as Hot Harry’s….some things are very decent, and the salsas and sauces are great….just dont go for anything with “grilled veggies”. It is literally frozen California Blend-type stuff thrown on a flat-top…)
